Miles from the ocean, there's diving beneath the streets of Budapest

news.ycombinator.com Jennifer Walker 2025-11-05 14:42:53

Budapest — Every day, crowds flock to the Lukács Thermal Baths in Budapest, soaking in warm mineral-rich pools as yellow trams clatter along Frankel Leó Street. Most never suspect that just yards away, beneath the city’s historic streets, lies a hidden world: a vast underwater cave system heated by geothermal springs. From its entrance, tucked into the base of Rózsadomb — Rose Hill — an affluent neighborhood of elegant villas and tree-lined streets, the Molnár János Cave stretches for over 3.6

If you're excited by the arrival of the next Battlefield installment, then you were probably battling for "C" right alongside me on the past beta weekend.

While sitting in bed and playing Call of Duty multiplayer on the Legion Go S is one of my new favorite things to do, I thought (wrongly) that it would be great for Battlefield, too. Here's w

The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services disclosed the resident’s death Wednesday, following its initial report of the case last week (though few details about the case were released, several outlets reported the resident was a man).

Google’s Pixel Buds 2a Have One Thing Apple Would Never Give Us on AirPods

Wireless earbuds are better now than they’ve ever been. Trust me, I’ve tried a lot of them. They sound better; they look better; they have impressive noise cancelling, and in the grand scheme of things, they’re pretty affordable. That being said, there is one thing they’re sorely lacking, and that’s modularity and repairability. As solid as Apple’s AirPods are, when the battery goes, so too does the whole pair of wireless earbuds. That sucks, to say the least. This sad fact about most wireless

Can AI Predict Powerball Numbers?

gizmodo.com Riley Gutiérrez Mcdermid 2025-11-10 02:25:17

With the Powerball ballooning to $650 million after Wednesday’s drawing, hopeful players have been asking: Is winning the lottery a matter of luck or something that science and artificial intelligence can predict? Three students at the University of Salento in southern Italy say that science wins out. They say they used AI to analyze patterns from past draws to predict future winning numbers. Their experimental approach resulted in a €43,000 jackpot in April, which now has people wondering if

I Don't Care What Steph Curry Says, Google's AI Doesn't Know Ball

Google announced a multiyear deal with NBA star Steph Curry on Wednesday at its Made by Google event. As part of the deal, Curry will use AI from Google's Cloud to get better at the game he's played for years. And while I respect Curry landing this gig, no one can convince me that AI knows ball. Let's start with the idea that 11-time All-Star, 4-time NBA Champ and 2-time Scoring Champ (to name a few of his accolades) Stephen Curry knows less about basketball than Google's AI. That's absurd.

STARBASE, Texas—I first visited SpaceX's launch site in South Texas a decade ago. Driving down the pocked and barren two-lane road to its sandy terminus, I found only rolling dunes, a large mound of dirt, and a few satellite dishes that talked to Dragon spacecraft as they flew overhead. A few years later, in mid-2019, the company had moved some of that dirt and built a small launch pad.

French firm Gouach is pitching an Infinite Battery with replaceable cells

E-bike batteries are, for the most part, a collection of 18650 batteries, packaged together and welded in series and parallel, attached to a battery management system (BMS). A "dead" e-bike battery may only have two or three truly dead cells inside, while the remainder work fine. This is useful knowledge that, for the most part, very few e-bike owners can really use. Arc welders are not a common tool to own, and most e-bike batteries are not designed to be opened, safely or otherwise. French fi

Almost a year has passed since audiences were first exposed to HBO’s The Penguin, and to call it a success would be an understatement.

And yet, before its release, many were skeptical of the show. Why would we want to see this story? And did it make sense to do a Batman villain story without Batman himself? To that last
